Electric fence clicks
Cardinals chip, in gloaming
Evening hay run.
Art Prescription: I adore the sound of horses happily chomping on hay. As the sun sets on the farm, there is much atmosphere.
Index card with watercolor and my chop that says, “hope.”
Delicate wind chimes
Play tender notes to announce
Snow in the forecast.
Art Prescription: And my back-yard birds are talking about it too. Today I didn’t even need a coat. Grey wintry weather suits my sleepy cats.
Brush painting on index card:
Winter, green bamboo
Graceful leaves nod at bare trees
Secret hiding place.
Art Prescription: Have you ever come upon a tall bamboo forest in winter? A canopy of green in the midst of naked trees. A secret hiding place. Thick and tall. Sunshine rays slip in. Smells like vetiver.
Index card with watercolor and my chop that says, “hope.”
Creek, river, ocean
Life is running to its source
The end of the year.
Art Prescription: We all do it…the end of the year tabulation. The time between Christmas and New Years is always a time of retrospection. We add and subtract and divide and try and figure out what this new year will bring.
Put it out there, your hopes and dreams. Visualize it happening. Toast to your new year!
Index card with colored pencil:
Life is a puzzle
Each year a new piece to add
Makes a whole picture.
Art Prescription: And it’s always a work of art…each new day…each new year.
Index card collage with pen and ink:
All you can hear is
The soft patter as snow lands
Sea of frozen white.
Art Prescription: We did not have a white Christmas. In fact it has been around 70 degrees. Cool nights, warm days…kind-of North Carolina!
Index card with watercolor:
Could be anywhere
Bright lights, crowds, music, and yet
Right now I’m so here!
Art Prescription: Know what you need. Now…honor that. Simple.

Ruby-Crowned Kinglet
Hops about in bare branches
Shows off scarlet head.
Art Prescription: Went to hike at Mason Farm today. North Carolina beautiful winter day…partly sunny, in the 50’s. Saw lots of birds, among them this adorable Ruby-Crowned Kinglet.
Index card with colored pencil:
Miniature art
Holiday greeting decor
Stamps on envelopes.
Art Prescription: There is so much wonderful holiday art on everything you see. I’m especially fond of stamps.
Hope you all had a wonderful day whatever you are celebrating!
Index card with collage and colored pencil:
All is quiet now
The shoppers are home, gifts wrapped
Village green is calm.
Art Prescription: Whatever you are celebrating this season, I wish you good health and contented days!
Cheers,
Beverly
